Every time your max in one of the lifts goes up, post a new reply and I'll periodically update the table, probably once or twice a week.

The table will be done in kilograms, so please include the lbs or kg tag with your weights so I know which ones to convert. I will round lbs-kg conversions down to the nearest .5 kg for all posts. I am not going to go back through previous postings to amend the table.

If you are like me and don't often test your max lifts, let me know your best set and I'll calculate your max based on Wendler's 1RM formula: 1RM = set weight * reps * 0.0333 + set weight. I know this isn't completely accurate, but it is close enough and this isn't a strict competition table.

Hopefully this will spur some friendly competition among those close in strength levels. Lets keep it civil and fun.

Well first of all this table isn't just for barbell versions of the lifts or it at least isn't specified that it is. And secondly asparagus has stated that we can use Jim Wendell's calculation method to get our repped lifts to a reasonably accurate weight, it'd always been near enough accurate to me.. not everyone here is able to test maxes very often and don't want to. If this table was a proper official powerlifting comp or something then of course I wouldn't even suggest it, but I want to get my lifts as accurate as I can to motivate myself to get stronger.

Anyways, I got 75Kg for 8 reps, which calculates at 94Kg. You don't have to change it though mate I don't mind

VSP will be in the lead by miles with a Wilks of 394. Strong stuff, congrats !! Do you have any vids of you lifting mate? Would love to have a look at your style/technique seeing as you aren't that much bigger than I am in terms of bodyweight.

In any case, this is really just a friendly table. If we just put down competition lifts then a lot less people would participate. I would also rather the table just reflect people who are active in the forum, but then I would have to drop a lot of names from the list and it would look rather pathetic.

There's a lot of really strong people on this table, and I'm happy to be in such company.
